Most of these individuals you claimed working under slavery conditions in China have some results or accomplishments to show for their efforts.

Many Nigerians working within their own country do not have similar accomplishments.

Who informed you that they do not adhere to the necessary protocols?

Agbo business!?
Name your business!
You are most probably a disoriented government worker, leaching on government funds that is full of taxes paid by such businesses you loath.
Open a factory before yapping.
What is the name of your factory

Point out the lie i told about those people like you....if i were in Peter Obi position i would not be found operating a supermarket as business today using dollars for importing toothpicks, mayonnaise, ketchup etc but instead i would have built factories to produce those goods in Nigeria and created employment opportunities even if it is for my own tribesmen only.

Furthermore, i might be or not be all you think i am but what you should know is that i am not more intelligent than you but simply intelligent than you and not a hypocrite that deflects from the truth or rationalise the truth away when faced with it so go find your mate argue with because what i have said is the truth and no amount of apologises can wipe it away.

Yes, but in a most legal way that complies with the law of that land. So it will be fine if Chinese people follow the legal channel to do their business, if not, it will be a total DISASTER. Yes! TOTAL DISASTER!!

How are you sure they are not following guidelines?

Before you start asking question about Negative effect of the chinese on a small scale

Do we have a local alternative production market, by virtue of facts junk of home appliances, phones and gadget in the market are source from the chinese

Now chnese moving to retail what is there to Fear, judging by population size of the chinese they are not a threat

2ndly when it comes to patronage pattern of Nigerian a lot prefer to go local market to buy than buy from just an hawker you see now nd you are not sure when next you might see him

i cant rule out competition effect, Buh the leverage the local have undermines the "chinese chances" on retail

Nothing new they are in every part of the world, they are the direct similar version of our Igbo brothers in terms of business and replication.

Politics aside. A professor in Economics was having a conversation with my Mum, it was like an argument because my mum is a card carrying Obidient . SHE JOIN THEIR CULT GROUP SINCE 2022.

The professor told her that Tinubu is making the right economic moves and we will start seeing foreigners opening businesses, factories and other investment soon in Nigeria. He said this far back as of December last year, when Nigerian were almost running mad due to hardships.

May God help us

Do you see the professor's upside down reasoning?
Foreigners are taking over and Nigerians are not involved.
Many Nigerians will soon run mad like the Zulus.

This should not be allowed to continue.

They can come set up factories, employ Nigerians to work.

Not come here set up shop to start selling things.

We are already suffering from high unemployment

I understand the concern about Nigerian traders and unemployment, but I don't think the solution is to say foreigners should only build factories and not open shops.

Let's be careful here.

If a Chinese-owned shop is operating legally, paying taxes, complying with Nigerian laws and employing Nigerians, why should we automatically say it must not be allowed?

Nigerian businesses also compete aggressively with one another every day. A Nigerian electronics dealer can open a shop beside another Nigerian electronics dealer. That's business. The real question should be whether everyone is playing by the same rules.

If foreign businesses are getting illegal advantages, avoiding taxes, violating immigration or investment regulations, importing goods illegally, or operating in sectors restricted to Nigerians, then government should absolutely investigate and enforce the law.

But if the business is legitimate, the focus should be on creating a level playing field—not on the nationality of the business owner.

In fact, Chinese investment can potentially bring capital, cheaper products, technology, supply-chain connections and employment opportunities. The problem isn't necessarily that Chinese people are doing business in Nigeria.

The problem is whether Nigeria has strong enough policies to make that investment work for Nigerians too.

Instead of simply saying “they shouldn't open shops,” perhaps we should be asking:

Why is it so difficult for Nigerian businesses to access cheap capital?

Why are electricity and logistics so expensive?

Why can't local manufacturers produce competitively?

Why do Nigerian traders have to travel abroad to source the same goods?

Why are our borders and tax systems so poorly managed?

Why aren't we creating an environment where Nigerian businesses can grow into companies capable of competing with international businesses?

Because banning competition won't automatically make Nigerian businesses stronger.

Better policies will.

If government wants foreign investors to manufacture locally, create jobs and transfer technology, then give them incentives to do exactly that. At the same time, give Nigerian entrepreneurs access to affordable financing, infrastructure and a fair regulatory environment.

Let's protect Nigerian businesses, yes.

But let's not turn legitimate foreign investment into the enemy.

The goal should not be “Chinese out.” The goal should be “Nigerians must not be disadvantaged.”

That's a much more sensible conversation.
